This page was inspired by my visit out west to the Colorado Rockies which led to a spiritual awakening on top of a mountain. In my epiphany there were many things that came to me, but a key point that I took away was a rabid passion for nature and our nation’s national parks. I was in awe of the beauty I witnessed. From the towering trees to encompassing mountains. On top of this mountain, I felt a connection to my deceased father and felt an overwhelming need to see more of this beauty (he was an avid outdoorsman). I knew from the moment I felt the piercing wind stop momentarily at 11k feet while silence befell the land that I was being spoken too by nature for a calling that I did not realize I needed. It was in these moments that I knew I needed, no I MUST, see all our nation’s national parks. This page will be dedicated to those parks.
